Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Avian Flu.
Avian Flu
My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend for that question. No, it does not. It has to satisfy those requirements in the country of origin, but when it arrives in this country a bird has to go to a quarantine centre for 30 days. There it is examined by inspectors, as I have tried to explain. So it is not the end of the story when it gets through the country of origin. It has to get through our systems as well, and they are pretty tough. Indeed, on this occasion, they worked.
